Chapitre 550: Control Freak

"Is that it?" Tom asked, and Lucy looked at him in confusion.

"What?" she asked, wondering what he was talking about.

"Is that what you are scared of? Is that the reason you don't want to get married?" Tom asked, and Lucy frowned.

"Didn't you say we were not to talk about it until next year?" she reminded him.

No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't fathom why the thought of having kids of her own who would rely on and depend on her made her feel like a weight was sitting on her chest. The thought of it made her feel very anxious.
